With loads to see and do, The Franklin Institute offers a fantastic experience for the entire family. For over 170 years, the museum’s hands-on approach to science and technology has captivated the minds and hearts of visitors. One can only imagine how Benjamin Franklin himself would marvel at the museum’s growth and innovation. Today, the Institute features world-class attractions including the Fels Planetarium, Tuttleman IMAX Theater, The Franklin Air Show, Space Command, The Sports Challenge, KidScience: The Island of the Elements, and The Train Factory—alongside countless interactive exhibits that make science fun and accessible. Plan to spend a full day exploring, learning, and playing. You’ll be awed and amazed by the new and improved walk-through human heart, now enhanced with dynamic lighting effects and educational displays about cardiovascular health. Kids will love the chance to “shock” themselves with interactive electricity exhibits, illuminate the light wall using their cell phones, and discover how Mother Nature reshapes our planet in the compelling exhibit, “The Changing Earth.”
